Deadline extended to sign up for healthcare

Those looking for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act have until midnight to do so. The deadline was December 23 but that has since changed. A new task for a lot of people this Christmas Eve, signing up for health insurance for it to kick in on January 1.

The deadline was pushed because of a heavy demand on www.healthcare.gov. A spokesperson said they’re trying to accommodate people who live in different time zones and to deal with possible technical issues that could happen.
